The operation that took place on Thursday afternoon has ended, but emergency services continue to fly over the area in helicopters and drones.
Ten people are still missing: women, men and children who lived in the 31 housing units in Gjerdrum when the landslide occurred.
Police said Thursday afternoon that they are still looking for survivors. Images from the site show rescue teams walking among collapsed houses within the area of the landslide. They searched the ruins of two houses that were partially intact. No person registered at these addresses has been reported missing.
– It has not meant that we have found anyone, but it has given us some answers that were necessary to get a proper map and a proper overview, says Operations Manager Roger Pettersen.
So far no one has been able to submit the perfect solution, which is not strange.
– We continue the rescue operation in full force and continue to search for survivors, continues Pettersen.
Now the emergency services continue to fly over the area with helicopters and drones provided by the Armed Forces. These also work when there is no longer daylight.

The Norwegian Directorate for Water Resources and Energy (NVE) works continuously with emergency services to map the situation.
– We have fully focused on two things. We assist police and emergency services with professional evaluations. We have had personnel on board the helicopters to monitor the situation while the rescue work is carried out. The others are field investigations to see if we can start to delineate the area a bit, says regional manager Toril Hofshagen.
The landslide remains unstable and on Thursday another house collapsed over the edge.
– The landslide remains unstable. There have been new bombings throughout the day. This is still an unresolved landslide situation that is closely monitored, says Hofshagen.
